WHAT THE stare OF WILKES" Is.
Jise Good Old County is Hidden Mine of
Wealth, Waiting for the Capitalist.

W eaitH, waiting Tor the capitalist
EDITOR SENTINEL: To more clearly
understand the inducenent Wilkes offers to
| capital, it is best first to take birds eye
view nj The county. The whole county is a
large valley, over-shadowed on the North
by tie mineral ribbed heights of the Blue
Ridge an! By the less imposing, but still
beautiful and parallel range of the Brushes
on the South. The Yadkin liver enters the
county on Its western boun3ry, sixteen miles
above Wilkesboro, and flows east 40 miles
through It's entire length; increasing its
volume at almost every curve, by the influx
of brooks, creeks and rivers, that come
gushing ana gurslins down from the noun
tain ranges on either side. The valley is
great reservoir into which the mountain
gaps, like safety-valves, admit the warm air
Of the South and the cool of the North.
These positive and negative elements meet,
neutralize, and form an atmosphere OF the
very finest nature, not so changeable as 9TH
er climates, and this together with the puri-
ty Of water and air make Wilkes one of the
most healthy localities in the State.
As to her mineral resources, there is a
vein of iron ore north of the Yadkin, which
has been traced from the Low er end of the
county to point north of WiIi,esboro. Rich
deposits OF the same metal have been found
around Trap Hill and along the foot of the
Blue Ridge. In certain localities, rich mag
netic iron ore is found. Messrs. Finley &
Blair have some specimens from lands which
they have on their real estate books for
sale. Gold silver and mica have been par
TALLY operated in the county, and are now
awaiting capital and railroad facilities.
The varied sell of the county is capable
of producing almost all kinds of vegetation
as well as minerals. 1t embraces every kind
from the gravely clay tobacco land of the
ridges to the fertile biaci, loan corn land, of
the numerous creek and river bottoms. The
corn to be seen, up aud down the valley, at
this season Of the year is immense.
But the most-come-at able wealth OF
Wilkes is It's timber. By making rough
calculation Of our marketable timber, put
into northern markets at reasonable freight
expenses, / find that our timber alone will
amount to enough to my up at least two of
our adjoining counties in toto. This vast
source Of wealth is standing on every noun
tain top, plateau and river bank, waiting
for capital to come anu utilize our dozen or
more of inexhaustible rivers, to bring their
timber into the commercial channels, by
the means Of furniture shops, spoke and
handle factories, sash, door and blind mills,
and wagon and buggy factories.
There Is money in it. Who will be the
first to reap the benefit We are on the eve
of a Big Boom, who will be the first to tou ch
it off? WILKES

Thanksgiving Services.

Our good friends of Salem celebrated
Thanksgiving by "Harvest Home" serv-
ice. In front of the pulpit were two pyra-
mids and mound, built of sheaf wheat and
oats, turnips, radishes, corn, pumpkins,
beets, onions, apples, tomatoes, squashss,
grapes, bananas oranges, pepper, flowers,
and in fact every thing good to eat and fair
to look upon that our bountiful soil brings
forth. To the rear of the pulpit was large
festoon, compoaed of fruits and edibles and
"smellables," extending across the pulpit.
Dr. Rondthalef preached the sermon. Serv-
ices were held both in the morning and ey-
ening.
At the Methodist Church DR.. Burkhead
preached and the attendance WIS very fair.
The church was not decorated, bnt the peo-
pie showed their appreciation in another
way-they took up collection and sent it
to the orphans. The amount realized was
between $50 and S35.
Atthe Episcopal Church there was service
conducted by Rev. H. o. Lacey. Fruits
and flowers ornamented the pulpit and the
service was interesting.

Dwelling Burned.

About two o'clock Monday morning, the
fire bell pealed forth and soon our peo-
pie were running from every direction
toward the Graded School, near which
place small cottage house, the property of
Mr.. Cicero Tise, was discov cred to be on fire.
1t was far advanced when discovered, and
when reached By the fire company, their
hose was found To be insufficient in lensth
to reach the nearest hydrant. An extra
hose was gotten from the Salem Company,
but by this time the flames had gotten be-
yond their control and the building was
burned to the groani. 1t was occupied by
Mr.. John Hicks and his son-in-luw, Mr. R.
III Hopkins. The household property was
covered by insurance, we learn, while Mr..
Uses loss, with no insurance, is estimsted
at between five and six hundred dollars

a Horrible Murder.

The Mt. Airy Ne,gs Of last week gives an
Interesting as we'll as a horrible account of
murder committed about five miles west
Of that place, and a halt mile beyond the
North Carolina and Virginia line, in Car
roll county, Va, the deed Of which was per-
petrated on the evening Of November 18th
The victim was a young lady by the name
OF Lou Haynes, while Bob Leak Tilley
is the accused murderer. Brother Lowery
visited the scene OF the murder while the
Coroner Of Carroll county was holding an
inquest and learned the particulars
1t seems that on the evening of the muir
der, the young lady and Tilley, in company
with several other young people, were on
the road il the vicinity of the spot where
the body was found, and that Tilley took
away from the girl about $25, which she
was coaxing him to return to her. TiIley
was said to be intoxicated and begged Lou
to 60 with him to neighboring house
threatening to throw rocks at the house if
she did not accompany him. For some time
she objected but at last consented to go with
him with view it seems of getting her
money! The other party passed on and
this was The last ever seen of Lou Haynes
alive by any one save the wretch who de-
stroyed her young life. 1t seems that Til
ley shot the girl dead AMI then dumped the
body among the branches of fallen tree
and set fire to it, with the hope that it
would be entirely consumed, and thus con-
ceal the crime. The fire rapidly spread
among the dry leaves, and was discovered
by several who rushed to the scene to ex-
tinguish the fire, supposing that it had ac-
cidentally gotten cut. While endeavoring
to put out the flames, they found the half
consumed body of the murdered girl. The
body WAS SO badly burned that those who
found it could not identify it The news
was soon spread and description of the
suspected murderer was sent throughout
the country.
Upon close exanlina ion by the Coroner's
Jury, it was found that the girl had been
shot in the top Of the head, the ball passing
through the brain, tearing its way through
the head, breaking one jaw, aud coming out
under tn chin. Several of her limbs were
burned off The body was readily identi-
as that of Lou Haynes by her breast pin
dress-buttons, etc.
Tilley, SO far as we can learn, has sue
ceede1 in egading all efforts to capture him
but it is reported that Gov. Lee has offered
a reward of $1,000 for his apprehension.

The symptoms of Biiousness are unhappily
but too well known They differ IN different
individuals to some extent. A Bilious man rs
seldom breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas
he has an excellent appetite for liquids but
none for solids of morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at xny Tina; lift is not
white and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of orde-
and D1arrhea or Constipation may be symp-
tom or the two may alternate. There are Of
ten Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There
may Ne giddiness and often headache and acid
ity or fatulence and tenderness in the pit of
the stomach. To correct all this if not effect

srife and thousands attest its efficacy.
